My first MA Design project is done! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀"During this project, I explored Materiality as a fictional concept; I aimed my initial research at my personal interest in video gaming, but in a broader sense, the entire 'virtual world'. I started by imagining the future of video games and where games themselves would be in over a decade's time. Retro games have made a comeback, so I envisioned further down the line that games being produced now would be considered retro... this led me to old school 3D glasses and anaglyph images, consequently creating my own.... ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ I then contextualised the colour of the 3D glasses and took inspiration from The Matrix and the concept of the red and blue pill. The red pill representing an uncertain future but also showing the truth of reality. Whilst the blue pill represents a beautiful prison, ignorant to the outside world." #madesign#masters#universityofplymouth

Harry reflects on undertaking a paid placement year in industry as part of his marine and composites technology course. “A placement year in industry gives you the chance to earn money and apply the things you’ve learnt during study to live projects in the real world. It also prolongs the fast-paced university experience by a year, which is always a good thing.” “So many friends tell me they wished they completed a placement year during the course. Trying to come up with a dissertation project is really frustrating for people who haven’t done a work placement year. I came back and knew exactly what I wanted to do straight away because I’ve had that previous placement experience, which has really opened my eyes.” Read more about Harry's journey at www.plymouth.ac.uk/future

>>> New Materialism... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"We were challenged to think about what Materiality would be like in the future, then imagine and create our own Material as a result of our research. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our group outcome will be a series of 10cm edge cubes; a sample of our imagined material. Along with a proposed object, item, architecture or a concept for the future, using the material." Our Exhibition begins from the 11th of December from 5pm, Roland Levinsky Building, 2nd Floor. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you are staying in Plymouth over Christmas and don't want to be alone on Christmas day Plymouth's Central Library will be opening its doors again this Christmas Day, providing a warm welcome to anyone who may be on their own and would like some company.
There will be a festive film show, quizzes and games, as well as free refreshments. Library computers and Wi-Fi will be available for anyone who wants to get in touch with family or friends.
This year the library is also offering transport for people living in Plymouth who would like to join them on the day – email library@plymouth.gov.uk by Friday 14 December if you or someone you know would need this.
Deputy Council Leader Pete Smith said: “If you’re on your own, we know Christmas can be a lonely time. If people would like some company and to see some friendly faces we hope they will join us at the library on Christmas Day, where a warm welcome will await them.” People can get involved by providing donations of wrapped chocolates or biscuits to be given out on the day. Pupils from St Peter’s CE Primary School will be writing Christmas messages for those who visit.
The library, on the corner of Armada Way and Mayflower Street, will be open from 1pm until 4pm. Everyone is welcome.
